Got Green Screen?

February 28, 2009April 2, 2009 Smockers

Hey people! Yes, it’s Smockers. Anyways, a new post on the PCB shows up! We’ve seen Comic Kid go through weird, scientific labs, clown stores, and crystal caves. But have we seen him visit a strange, green tech laboratory of some sort? Check it out!

Blog Post Title: Green Screen
Description: My travels took me to yet another “out of this world” location, where I had a hard time deciphering what was being displayed on this green screen.

This sneak peek is probably showing part of Astro-Knights island. “Out of this world” most likely suggests that it’s… not on Earth. We also see Comic Kid staring in awe at what appears to be binary numbers on a green screen. Perhaps, if you put those numbers in a binary translator, it could reveal some message? 😛 I wonder how this will be implemented into the island…

Well, that’s about it. Smockers signing out!

Rockin’ Rock Stars and Rockets

February 25, 2009April 2, 2009 Slanted Fish

We all know that the Creators have been working on some “super-special-and-secret” costumes lately… and a fresh new batch just came out today! Thank you Blue 6254! Rock stars may be coming to Poptropica…

Blog Post Title: More Outfits!
Description: Here are some more “super-special” outfits we are working on! Rock on!

On the left we have a female rock star with a wild hairstyle, colored pink and black. She’s also wearing a pink shirt, white pants, a black jacket with buttons, and holding a pink electric guitar. On the right is a male rock star, and his hairstyle is similar to the one on the right, but it’s still a bit different and the colors are black and white (how skunk-like!). 😛 He’s carrying a brown flying V guitar, and wearing a black jacket (without buttons), a green shirt with a yellow star, and black pants. Both the boy and the girl have cool sunglasses-like things over their eyes! 😀

Another new post on the Creators’ blog, and it looks like this one is for Astro-Knights! Thank you for the reminder, Neat Whale. Blog picture below:

Blog Post Title: Rocketing through space
Description: There’s a lot of space to explore out there! What new planets and lifeforms await?

It’s that Astro-Knights Island rocket again! It looks like we’ll be flying through space. Awesome!

There’s some blue stuff coming out of the rocket. Wonder what that is? Feel free to comment about your thoughts on this sneak peek here!

Please keep this in mind while commenting around Poptropica Help Blog:

You are not required to type in perfect spelling/grammar. You may use abbreviations such as “u” for you, or misspell a few words if you can’t find the right spelling, such as “spasifik” instead of “specific”. However, you need to keep your comments readable.

If you find that you or someone else used the wrong spelling or grammar for a word, phrase, or sentence, even though you/they didn’t want to, please don’t comment to correct the person. It’s not necessary. It will only waste comment space (there’s no limit, but it’s better to keep it neat), people will get off-topic to have a big discussion about it, and if you knew what they were trying to say enough to want to correct them, we’re sure everybody else will understand it too. So, please don’t comment that way.

Also, when someone tells about a new post on the Poptropica Creators’ Blog, it’s not an invitation for everyone to start discussing it. The PHB will eventually post about the Creators’ new post, and when we do, that would be the time to talk about it. Not on the older posts, because it’s considered off-topic there.

Thanks for reading, and hopefully you can apply to these things in the future! 😉

Our first half-million, Jeff Kinney, and Shining Crystals!

February 17, 2009April 2, 2009 Slanted Fish

Yes!! Poptropica Help Blog has reached 500,000 hits – that’s half of a million! 😯

Special First Posts!:
Scary Tomato’s first post (joined July 26, 2008.)
Smockers’s first post (joined October 6, 2008.)
Codien’s first post (joined October 20, 2008.)

The PHB was created on July 26, 2008. Today is February 17, 2009. That means it took only around 6 months, 3 weeks, and a day! That was quick! 😀

To celebrate with a bit of confetti, check out this funny website:
http://producten.hema.nl/

The language written there is Dutch, but don’t worry, you don’t need to know Dutch to watch the cool video there! Oh, and turn on the volume for extra effects, too! 😛

Or…

Let’s add some milk to that, too! Cheers!

Many of you might know Jeff Kinney. In case you don’t, he’s the author of the bestselling series, Diary of a Wimpy Kid! If you want to read Diary of a Wimpy Kid, you can see it online for free on Funbrain: http://www.funbrain.com/journal/Journal.html?ThisJournalDay=1&ThisPage=1.

Anyway, Grey Flame recently discovered on Jeff’s website that Jeff Kinney himself is one of Poptropica’s Creators! Thanks for sharing, Grey Flame!

For proof, visit Mr. Kinney’s website at: http://wimpykid.com/

Click on “Author Interview” at the left side. Under the second Q-and-A that shows up, click on “Next”. On the next page find where it says “Q: Are you a full time writer?” “A:“, the answer, says: “No. I work full-time as a virtual world designer, and I created Poptropica.com. I’m also a full-time dad, so things are very busy for me right now!”

The big news is, there’s now another known way to contact the Poptropica Creators! On Mr. Kinney’s website, click on “Contact” at the left. At the top, it says:

Jeff Kinney
[email protected]

Please note: Because of the amount of E-mail Jeff receives, it’s not possible for him to respond quickly. It might take a few months for Jeff to get your E-mail.

We might be able to ask Jeff Kinney about Poptropica questions by sending E-mails to him! However, as the note says on his website, it might take quite a while before he replies (if he even does at all!).

If any of you send him an E-mail, and he replies, tell us about it! You can forward it to us at [email protected]. If it’s really interesting we can share it with everyone else on Poptropica Help Blog, and give you credit, of course!

Anyone here like pink? Then this next Astro-Knights sneak peek is for you!

Thanks Zany Moon for the alert. Adorned all over this image we see are a many shiny pink crystals. Here’s the picture and information:

Blog Post Title: Far Far Far Away
Description: I’ve found some really unique places within the vast world of Poptropica. This place was really special with its many glistening and glowing pink crystals. I couldn’t help but pick one up and examine its beauty.

Maybe we’ll get to hold these crystals on Astro-Knights, since that’s what Comic Kid is doing in the picture! 😉
